The primaries may be over, but there are signs the Clinton campaign may keep going.


(CNN) -
Democrats, reporters and rival Barack Obama’s campaign have all been scrutinizing Hillary Clinton for signs she may continue her presidential run after the last primary takes place June 3. On Thursday, they got an answer: definitely maybe.

The press corps traveling with the New York senator received an afternoon e-mail asking them whether they wanted to stay on the road with the campaign next week – most of which falls after Tuesday’s votes in Montana and South Dakota, the final contests of the primary season.

Reporters were offered the option of traveling with the campaign on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, June 4-6.

But the Clinton campaign – which regularly informs journalists of travel plans just hours beforehand – is offering no other details, including possible destinations.

Said Clinton spokesman Jay Carson. "There are a lot of places for us to go between June 4 and November."

Why do Hillary's supporters kick against the rock? Is it reasonable or mature to vent all of your frustrations in such a very important election? Please understand, Hillary is an excellent politician ...a truly great woman. This wasn't her time! Call it a bad campaign...Call it racism...or gender bias....the point is her campaign failed her. Barack has been respectful and certainly understood a man of his ethinicity beating down the white woman legend would surely net him a loss. So give the man some credit and most importantly ...give him a chance. Give this country a chance for God sakes. If experience is what we have in our nation's capital right now; we certainly don't need more of the McSame

"Only Hill can fight…and WIN"

Yes, she can fight.......But at this point, she cannot WIN! If she had won the nomination fair and square, BO supporters would have voted for her......But at this point she cannot win the nomination fair and square given that the math is in favor of Barack....And hence in the incredibly unlikely event of her becoming the nominee, she won't get anyone but her diehard supporters to vote for her....and that won't give her a win in Nov.....Think people!!! Think!!

If the only thing that matters are "the big swing states," why do we even bother to have elections anywhere else?

Indiana Bob   May 29th, 2008 7:49 pm ET

Keep going Hillary!! You have every right to take it to the convention. Or better yet, run on a third party ticket. The Democratic Party has turned its back on you and the core constituents of the party, like me. The vile personal hatred posted about you in this comment section by Obama supporters is disgusting. I have voted Democratic since 1972, but I may never again. I definitely will not if Obama is the candidate. PLEASE run on a third party ticket!! You got my vote.

Hillary or McCain

Joshua College Station Texas   May 29th, 2008 7:49 pm ET

If the media doesn't know where it's going, it is sure to get there. CNN: don't let Hillary manipulate you by getting you to commit to what you don't know! If you give in and go along on her secretive bus tour without finding out where it will lead first, she will be in control of the message. Her mysterious invitation might sound like a tantalizing opportunity for an interesting story, but the fact is, she will be in control of what your message will be and news you will be able to write, not you. It is just a ploy to keep her in the spotlight. The longer she can stay in the spotlight is the longer she can stay in the race, whether she deserves to be there or not. She is looking for any opportunity to spin public sentiment her way in order to sway superdelegates. All I have to say is, don't be surprised if she just ends up taking you to Disneyland or Sea World! My point is, she will even try to just entertain you in order to keep you interested in her, regardless of whether she deserves the attention. But she who loses the nomination does not deserve the public's attention. We need to move forward in this race! Hillary will do whatever it takes to keep getting press. I WOULDN"T BE SURPRISED IF SHE LOSES THE NOMINATION AND STILL STAYS IN THE RACE. CNN and media: don't be enablers! Listen to Scott McClellan. Take responsibility!

Chad Turner   May 29th, 2008 7:49 pm ET

Hey people like Sue from Bloomington, Indiana, you are way over your heads. You do not know what you are talking about. There is nothing great about Obama, he is not unifying or "inspirational". You know what, Hillary should take this fight to the convention, along with all her supporters. Obama would lose big in a general election.

Gays for Obama, South Beach   May 29th, 2008 7:49 pm ET

Even though Obama is against gay marriage, we have decided to support him. Although it's hard for us to understand that he's a member of one minority group and he's biased against another minority group.

We'd like to have some of you Obama supporters explain that to us.

RUi   May 29th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

From a point a view of a european and a foreigner ,I tried to focus on Obama speeches ,despite being very appealing ,really they don’t say Nothing !, absolutely no idea comes from these marvelous speech.
These could only happen in USA!

Hill please   May 29th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

Obama started with NO name recognition- because he is a nobody who has done absolutely nothing for his country.

For this, his followers believe he is entitled to the nomination and the presidency.

Many of us don't vote on who delivers a lofty prepared speech well. We vote for the candidate who will LEAD well.

Clinton and ONLY Clinton.

Hillary it is your right to take it to the convention. Please DO SO.

Eric   May 29th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

The moon would be a good place.

John   May 29th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

JC,where will Obama go when he loses miserably? I guess to Hawaii,or may be Indonesia?Please let us know,you seem to be so conversant with peoples private life.Hillary Clinton will go as far as she wnnts to go.The truth is Hillary will end up being the President of the USA.Most people think this is a big joke.It may be to some,but majority of Her supporters are very serious in electing her the President.Yes she WILL!!

holy   May 29th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

Let's make an End with Clintons years and move on.

Chris-Atlanta   May 29th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

Is anyone else scared of the scene this woman would make at the convention?? I'm picturing security hauling her off kicking and screaming "IT'S NOT FAIR IT'S NOT FAIR!!! I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT!!!!"

Eric   May 29th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

To hell, that's where it's going and where this country is going if she doesn't move her rear out of the way.

sdn   May 29th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

How sad.

Who do they think they are?   May 29th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

GO HILLARY........ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION DON'T LET THEM TELL YOU WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. IF ANYONE IS BREAKING THE PARTY APART IT IS OBAMA FOR NOT STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND LETTING THIS GO TO THE CONVENTION, HE IS SCARED. SO MUCH FOR THIS BIG CHANGE HE TALKS ABOUT HE IS ALL POLITICS. HE IS SO FULL OF IT AND FULL OF HIMSELF.

POPULAR VOTE SHOULD ALWAYS COUNT FIRST, WE ALL THOUGHT THAT IN 2000 WHAT HAPPENED? IF OBAMA HAS THE POPULAR VOTE AND THE DELEGATES THEN HE SHOULD WIN BUT THE CAUCUSES WERE A DISASTER EVEN THE CAUCUSES GOERS SAID THIS THEMSELVES AND I AM SURE NOT EVEN DONE RIGHT, RAISE YOUR HAND AND VOTE FOR SOMEONE, THEN WE COUNT, WHAT A J0KE YOU COULD COUNT SOMEONE TWICE, WHAT A WAY TO NOMINATE SOMEONE.

Brendose, Oceanside Ca   May 29th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

Yeah, go back to New York, and ask more people for money so you can pay off your 21MILLION DOLLAR DEBT.

But stay home after that, you can't afford a plane ticket anywhere.

A.M.   May 29th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

May be she is planning to run for the office as an "Independent", if she can not get the democratic nomination. She thinks may be she can pull through presidency from "West Vriginia". May be she is planning to protest to change the electoral number from 273 in the general elction to just whatever she gets from West Virginia.

Who knows? What she is planning, afterall she is a Clinton; win through hook or crook.

Margaret   May 29th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

RJ,

There is a significant difference between Obama's "hard-ball" politics in Chicago and what Hillary is doing now. Obama called for a STRICT ENFORCEMENT of petition rules–nothing dirty about that–to the detriment of candidates who had gathered signatures incorrectly. Hillary, on the other hand, is DISREGARDING the very DNC rules she signed off on, and hypocritically pretends to be a champion of voters' rights even as she refuses to count caucus votes as "of the people."

Debra   May 29th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

After June 3, Obama will have reached the 2026 mark, FL and MI will just be icing on the cake. The Clinton's, self-centered that they are, will remain in the background. I am sure when Obama is sworn in as President of the United States of America in January 2009, they she will still be tauting "I am the most electable". It is kinda sad. The Clinton's have lost all dignity. I loved Bill Clinton, even stood behind him when other's mocked him during the Monica period. I have lost a lot of respect for him. I admired Hillary as well. I now view her as on big sore loser. I guess we should pity them, all they know is pursuing power. Let's just thank God their pursuit ended in 2008.

Gail   May 29th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

Funny how they usually only give the press a couple of hours notice and now they are giving them several days. Must be the start of a new game Hillary is playing. Hillary, don't try to tell me this is all for the good of the party.

Gerald - London, Uk   May 29th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

Celestial Choir will come down from heaven to crown Hillary the democratic nominee.

AC   May 29th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

If you haven't figured it out yet, rules are for the rest of us...
not for Clintons.

I can't wait for the end of his finger waving and her raspy screech. I'ts like I'm stuck in bad nightmare in the 90's and I can't wake up!

The Independent One   May 29th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

It's ok, let her rage on! She's already lost so don't worry everyone! All the Hillary supporters are a force in this country, and they should have their voice and vote, and the superdelegates should have a chance to weigh in on their decision. Patience everyone.... she's just putting up a good fight. There is an upside to this: Fighting Hillary has given Obama an edge against McCain. McCain has nothing on Obama and everyone knows it. Even Rupert Murdoch himself has acknowledged this. It is irelevent whether or not Hillary keeps contending, Obama is going to smash McCain!!!!

Susan   May 29th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

Go Hillary!!!

Go Hillary!!!

Go Hillary!!!

Go Hillary!!!

You will end up being the President!

And that will help our country!!

j   May 29th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

Sounds like she's running as an independent.

Randy M   May 29th, 2008 7:44 pm ET

This all boils down to Hillary can't except the fact that her and Bill's once powerful machine was beaten by a junior Senator with an idea of how to run a 21st century campaign. They were outmaneuvered, outgunned, and outcontributed. She had no plan after Super Tuesday. Her annointing didn't happen and they spent weeks in disbelief. That is simply the facts.

I do find it quite amazing how Clinton supporters spew the EXACT same line of nonsense that she and Bill use. Apparently if you say something enough it must be true. How gullible we are. If anyone thinks that Hillary is doing this for you, YOU MUST BE STUPID!!! She is no different than any politician. She is doing this for her own selfish interests. Please people, wake up!!!! Think for yourselves, not what some tired old politician wants you to think. Don't follow blindly down this same old path. I was hoping we were finally better than that.

Pato   May 29th, 2008 7:44 pm ET

Hillary is staying on the race because her supporters want it so.

It is shameful that so many Democrats have called for her to give up, and is also shameful that many on the DNC have not stayed neutral.

Desmond Sequeira   May 29th, 2008 7:44 pm ET

Cubanita   May 29th, 2008 7:44 pm ET

OBAMA IS TOOOO GREEN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE, PERIOD.

Sue, Bloomington, IN   May 29th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

I always liked the Clintons; but, to see how they have put themselves ahead of the country for their own agrandizement is pathetic! If Hillary's selfishly delusional campaign results in a republican win in the general and the war in Iraq is extended–that will be a bigger tragedy than her vote to get us into this war in the first place.

Dee Okla.   May 29th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

The place to go is home if you are not going to work in Obama's camp.

Charlotte   May 29th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

Take it all the way to the convention floor. The first votes are committed the second is not. If the majic number is not reached on the first vote, it is anybodies game. I will write in Hillary Clinton on my ballot in November, if she is not the nominee. Obamas' church may cause his campaign to emplode between now and then. I pray for devine intervention...

Genevieve   May 29th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

ok CNN... I have been waiting for you to post the latest, why do the other stations carry the story and you don't? Are you out to protect Sen. Obama, again?

Jean   May 29th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

The Clinton campaign continue to make promises that are misleading to the citizens that remain loyal to her. It is imoral to pander to that extent. Puerto Rico's state hood can not be delivered by one person, gas prices are complicated, sitting in the White House with your husband that is the president gives her no special powers.
Where were all of these rule protesters when the rules were made and approved. The agurement seems foolish to me.

I feel sorry for her!!!!

Kathy in Oregon   May 29th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

I don't get why everyone feels the NEED to end the democratic process.

WHY does Clinton have to concede prior to the convention?

This race is so CLOSE (neither candidate has enough elected delegates to win the nomination) - and NO one will WIN until all the votes are cast at the convention - so why not wait and let the process run it's course!!!

We have had MALE candidates - with FAR fewer delegates than Clinton - take it all the way to the convention. So why is everyone attacking Clinton? Seems blatantly SEXIST.

Loretta from California   May 29th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

Finally, the GOP has an opportunity to win the African American vote. Better start reaching out now, Republicans.

Ryan   May 29th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

If Obama doesn't have enough delegates, then I say good for her.

Larz   May 29th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

I am really surprised how much Hillary supporters know about the election process!!They keep telling her "keep goin,keep goin",but what they don't realize is that this campaign is only days to be over,and that they can vote a million times but their votes will not count at all!!!This is all about delegates,not votes!!!!!!!!!And what happened in Florida and Michigan is a fair deal.They both knew they couldn't vote when they wanted to,and they did.We can NOT change the rules of the game,because she is losing!Anyway,Obama is winning in all spects: more pledge delegates,more superdelegates,more Primaries won,more people voting for him.What else does she want?!!!She can still come back in 2012.

lars   May 29th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

Whya, theys agoin' ta 2012, loveys!

Cubanita   May 29th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

Amen to Vig's comment!

Jason   May 29th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

As a Clinton supporter, I have accepted that Obama will be the nominee (and hopefully president!). I would love to see Clinton as president, but after Puerto Rico it will be time for this nonsense to end and for the party to come together around Obama. I believe that in order to truly unify the party, Obama must offer to make Clinton his VP.

Anna, PA   May 29th, 2008 7:40 pm ET

YES WE WILL...

GO ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION!!!

Idiot Obamarites--why do you think she invited the press to be with her next week? Of course you don't know so I'll tell you. She's going to announce that she's running as an Independent.

Take out your calculators Obamanians--

Cubanita   May 29th, 2008 7:39 pm ET

Good for you Hillary. DON'T QUIT.
And don't underestimate the power of Hillary's supporters!

SAY NO TO OBAMA'S ARROGANCE. Gracias

A Latte Lover, Seattle, WA   May 29th, 2008 7:39 pm ET

Yes, there are a lot of places to be going between June 4th and November. She will be campaigning for Senator Obama.....

Seriously, I've been saying this all along, don't ever get complacent or think she is going to concede. She never will.

frank   May 29th, 2008 7:39 pm ET

Clinton is like a BMW ultimate driving candidate for the president of the United States nobody and repeating over and over again will be able to compete with her because she is the finest and most quialified candidate for the job, Obama is bully,phony, misleading and a BIG LIAR that I ever seen in my entire life, GO FOR IT MRS CLINTON I will be with you and supporting you all the way to The White House . HILLARY FOR 2008

Playtime's over! You've had your fun. Hand over the keys. The bus is in the ditch. Thanks.

The Obama Tow Service is here to save us from you, I mean, get us back on the road to recovery.......thank you Mrs. Pelosi (she's like OnStar) for all your help.

Let her ride wherever she wants to all she is going to do is make the Democratic Party shut her down. They have been trying to be respectful to her and let her go out with some sembalance of dignity – oh well. She is going to do what she wants to do and the Democratic Party will do what they need to do.

Mike   May 29th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

maybe she's going .......... away!

Ida Ward   May 29th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

You're going to go to bankruptcy court! You sure are irresponsible. Get a life. How about going to the Senate to represent the people who voted for you. Now, that's an idea! That's what I thought.

jaylo   May 29th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Hang in there Hillary. We want to win in November.
Obama has blocked revotes in Fl and Mi-they are not going to be appeased and voting for him. Clinton supporters are so infuriated by media bias ,and the sexism that is rampant not only in the media but the Democratic establishment as well. Top that off by the bad behavior of Obama supporters ( they seem to have forgotten we are in the same party) and a HUGE backlash is forming. Finally, lunchbucket dems will vote McCain over Obama because he actually has some experience.

As a side note-Nancy Pelosi is the Katherine Harris of this election cycle.

John   May 29th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

They can go many places, the beach, the bars she visited in PA and PR, Kosovo where she was under fire etc. Anywhere but the White House.

OBAMA 08/12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After further review,Texas   May 29th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

You can thank Bill for your loss,finally get a divorce and get some R AND R.

Dee, St. Louis   May 29th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Stop lying; no America does not love Hillary. If they did why is she losing and trying to steal this election. Not to worry, the Clintons will go down in history as the worst family ever in American History. And, if Obama loses, he will only be the first African American to lose in the most racist country in the World. Don't get it twisted. Hillary will NEVER GET BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.

DAN   May 29th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Time for a third party. Many want it and it's going to happen. Democracy can't be wrong. Hillary should run as an independent or start a third party. Let 120 million people decide who they want as president between McCain Obama or Hillary and screw the dnc with the deans brazile and pelosis. Freedom of choice. Make it happen and you 'll see real change.

Donna   May 29th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

So Obama played "hardball"...the article also stated that he PLAYED BY THE RULES...another bitter loser whining about unfair practices....Obama is a politician folks..don't ever underestimate that fact!!!

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, he is NOT stealing anything away from Clinton..he is/has played by the rules unlike Clinton...but make no mistakes, if she walks away with this nomination, that would be A CRIME!!!!

Stop Crying Obama Babies!!!   May 29th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

Stop crying Obama babies!! Your guys can't hold up his weight against the Republican machine....He proved that in ALL the Swing States...and on Saturday....PR.....–Why, why do you think BO can hold his own against McCain? No Way!! Only Hill can fight...and WIN!!!
She'll have the popular vote and electoral college votes behind her come August!! Watch the SDs follow her to win!!!
Stop crying Obama babies!!! Mama Hill will wipe your tears away!!

annie   May 29th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

More nasties came out of the closed today on obama – Hillary needs to stay in until the convention. Let the green eyed monster Pelosi keep her mouth shut and the superdelegates wait until the convention which is what they were suppose to do in the first place.

Terry   May 29th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

My response to Peter FROM NJ

For those who think Obama can not win the general election you are being brain washed by the propaganda from the Clinton machine. This country is in such a bad way that Obama can sleep walk into the presidency.

Why isn't anyone but Anderson even commenting on the
story about Barak's campaign in Chicago? Aren't we allowed?
I think Barak is great and he will be a great President but the practices
he used then fly in the face of his philosophy now....are we allowed to say that? Are we all ignoring it? I didn't get the memo....

1926   May 29th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

I believe you all are scared to death of Hillary. What difference does it make what she does? It is none of your business. I've never heard such ugly language from you haters. What harm does it do if she continues to run her campaign. You must not have much confidence in your boy. Neither one are bothering me. I am going to vote for Senator McCain.

Eric "Canada"   May 29th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

Can some body tranquilize Hillary and Bill please....somebody...please...I can't take it any more...??!!!!

Politically Speaking   May 29th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

She truly is aiming to sabotage Barack's presidential run.

Liz   May 29th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

I'd like to tell both Bill and Hillary where to go.....

It won't end, not until Hillary destroys the party or cheats, lies, steals whatever it takes to get the nomination. She's ENTITLED to it, because she's Hillary.

She is NOT ahead in the popular vote, I am so sick of the Clinton spin to make is *appear* that she's the one actually winning, when she isn't! She's lost! But her selfish, arrogant, ego won't let her be a graceful loser, no she's sore, spoiled loser who well if I can't have then no one will.

Hillary, the GREAT DIVIDER! I will never ever cast a vote for a Clinton, I'm hoping she won't be able to cheat & steal the nomination. I know she's trying, but hopefully someone will slam her down. Like I said, I've got a good place for her to go, but since the place is a considered a cuss word I won't say....

Turnabout is Fair Play   May 29th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

Yeah, this is REAL close, I don't think so Ant-clinton machine, Obama's ahead by over 130 delegates and only needs a few to clinch the nomination, what kind of math are you using for the delegate count, Clinton's? Obama has a nice little June surprise for Clinton after June 3rd, I can't wait. :-)

Obama/Sebelius '08!!

Bush was never elected   May 29th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

Maybe she'll break off from the Dem party and go independent, something she should have done months ago. Although without the democratic support, she would have been swept out to sea and forgotten because she wouldn't be riding Obama's coattails.

JC   May 29th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

NY is never the Clintons' home state. NY is a stepping stone for her presidency. She has told her friends she would not want to return to the Senate if she loses her bid for the White House.

Alan Boyer   May 29th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is planning to run as an independent. Nothing will stand in her way to get her name on the general election ballot. Stay tuned. This is far from over.

K of C   May 29th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Hillary is undoubtedly one of the "UN-DEAD". Time to call Buffy the Vampire Slayer to put a stake in Hill's heart ..... if she has one.

Electricmen   May 29th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Hillary should continue till some body actually WINS the nomination. Trying to knock her off by everyone trying to shut down all her supporter is not fair. NOBODY has the nomination yet, why did all the people asking he for so long to drop out, to make appear OBAMA won,even though he has not won yet.

And it is true, if people's true will is counted, both of them are close.

JD   May 29th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Go Hillary!

Just remember, if we only count the people who voted for her, she is the unanimous nominee. That is overwhemling evidence that she would be the strongest candidate. Of all the people who voted for her, she won unanimously!

Carl   May 29th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

I'm not sure if I should pity you or just hang my head down low and say, what a shame. You really are ruining your reputation and are now just beating a dead horse.

Give it up!!

Tsst!   May 29th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

this is so sad...

just you watch, she'll claim injustice from all and everybody and will run as a 3rd party candidate... if anything to destroy Obama's chance in November

RB   May 29th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Would someone just fly her to the moon....and don't forget Bill. They can both continue their campaign there (in their own little world).

Rene in PA   May 29th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

Hahahaha!!

Hillary's campaign is clearly going somewhere downhill... and they're all in this strange handbasket... oh no!

Gene   May 29th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

This is actually making me wonder if all the Hillary followers... who refuse to see that mathematically she has no chance... will continue supporting after this is all said and done.

I see people suggesting that she run as an independent if she loses the primary. If she did this... then that would send a clear message to Americans that she could care less for the party... that she only cares for herself. And the sad thing is the crazy Hillary supporters would think this was a good thing. Dumb people out there.. no wonder Bush got voted in twice.

b   May 29th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

I used to hope that she will drop out gracefully. But apparently she is unwilling. That's ok – her deeper and deeper humiliation is actually very entertaining to watch. She has nobody to blame but herself. That's how it works in America – there's not shame in losing, but if you lose and whine, you will receive nothing but ridicule.

Good For The Gander   May 29th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

I can tell her where to go; the same place the other liars and cheaters should go. Straight down and no lemonade is served there, despite the heat.

Karlo Hernandez   May 29th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

KEEP GOING HILLARY. WE LOVE YOU. A LOT OF US LOVE YOU. WE ALSO WANT YOU TO CONTINUE THE RACE TIL NOVEMBER.

WE WANT YOU AS AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE IFTHE DNC DENIES YOU WHAT YOU HAVE WON!!!

HILLARY 08 WILL BEAT MCCAIN AND OBAMA AT THE SAME TIME.

HILLARY 08, KEEP GOING!

Alice   May 29th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

the only place for her to go is AWAY

terri   May 29th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

What is wrong with her? My god
She lost the nomination her job now is to help the democratic nominee (Obama) win the white house. What part of that does she not understand ?

g'ma in Iowa   May 29th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

According to Bill, poor Hillary is being disrepected more than any other candidate. Who could possibly dis her more than he has?

matthew   May 29th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

there is no answer for hill &bill, QUEST............ OBAMA 08

Chrissy from Houston   May 29th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Please Hillary just go away, there is no point in you being here? I really believe that this woman and has totally lost her mind. She needs to go back to New York and find it!!..........................and really how could you be President if u can't even win the primary?

s.positive   May 29th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

What a Disgrace, I guess she wants to win by popular vote then win the GE by popular vote as well...

Jim   May 29th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

It is hard for someone rich and entitled to hear and believe "NO". I think she will continue and it will be her fault if the Democrats do not win in November. I also don't believe she cares at all. She will blame Obama for the loss and claim if she had been the nominee the Democrats would have won. She might even try to run again. This is endless. Bill is smart enough to end this but if he doesn't do everything he can to get her elected I see him apartment hunting. The only reason she has hung on to him is that he is suppose to give her the help she deserves. The clintons are a discrace to this country and the fact that people are supporting them just makes us look worst.

Mike, GA   May 29th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

I don't know what to think of this.

Figures!!!   May 29th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

They are really getting to be the jokers of the world...I cannot believe they will continue to campaign for her to win the nomination. At least I hope not. Hopefully that whole Hillary group will try and unite the party and and once again be someone we can look up to as a partner...

Go Obama!!!

beckley   May 29th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

Bill,
you succeeded in getting Bush elected twice so your wife could waltz into the whitehouse, but you lost the primary. The last eight years of evil rule was all in vein. The pendulum is ready to swing, but not to your wife. You're plan has taken it's toll on the world and especially our country. Now that it isn't going to work, the least you could do is stop the bleeding.

David Pearson   May 29th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

Please, please, please put a stop to her insanity. No one can. What a waste!

Keep it Up Hill. WE LOVE YOU AND SUPPORT YOU. THis is A Close election and everyone seems to keep a blind eye to it. Half of the Dem voters are for you and they will take heed.

tell the truth   May 29th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

Please stop people. You can not measure the popular vote. This is a fact. The rules are delgates which Obama has more. Please stop this is sounded stupid. I repeat you can not measure the popular vote. No way. Please talk with facts. You ask your kids to tell the truth but you can not. This is what is wrong in American. People do not want to tell the truth.

RJ, CA   May 29th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

READ CNN'S LEAD ARTICLE TODAY: About how Obama played "hardball" (DIRTY!) in his first Chicago Senate campaign. A real eye-opener about "Mr Clean"!
• Used Chicago rules to invalidate voting petition signatures of 3 challengers
• Challenged every single one on “technicalities”
• If names were printed instead of signed in cursive writing, they were declared invalid.
• If signatures were good but the person gathering the signatures wasn't properly registered, those petitions also were thrown out
• "It's not the tactics of 'let's all people come together and put your best ideas forward and the best ideas win,” as he now likes to claim
• "That's the spin; that's in the Kool-Aid.”
• In the end, he made sure voters had just one choice: HIM

DJ, LA, CA   May 29th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Hillary appears to have lost her mind. She just can't come to grips with the situation in that mathmatically it's impossible for her to win.

Yes I wouldn't put it past her at this point to be the next Joe Lieberman and either run as an independent or join the Republican party.

Obama would probably get more votes than McCain and Clinton regardless.

Crush Rush   May 29th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Alaska is nice in the summer,maybe she can snipe a polar bear,eat whale meat and buy a bridge to nowhere.

al   May 29th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

I BET $100,000,000.00 THAT HILLARY IS GOING TO RUN AS AN "INDEPENDENT"

WHEN IT HAPPENS, CALL ME FOR A BEER.

THAT IS THE PLAN. IF SHE CANNOT HAVE IT, "NOBODY WILL"

Denton Ford   May 29th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

I know where I'D like her to go between June and November...

BARBIE   May 29th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

I HAD TO CHANGE THE STATION FROM HANNITY & HOLMES LEAVING HILLARY OUT OF THE RACE REFERING TO THE MAP LAST NIGHT RE.VOTES IN STATES & ONLY COUNTING MCCAIN AND OBABMA. THE VOTES ARE NOT COUNTED STILL, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF CLINTON FANS WHO MUST ALSO GET DISCUSTED TURNING THE STATION AS I DO. HOW CAN YOU LEAVE HER OUT WHEN SHE'S STILL IN THE RACE? BILL IS RIGHT, STATEMENTS ON HILLARY'S TREATMENT BUT YOU KNOW THIS. THERE SHOULD BE SOME RESPECT, SO IF & WHEN SHE IS OUT, CLINTON FANS MAY "WANT TO WILLINGLY" GO FOR OBAMA OR JUST STAY HOME AND NOT VOTE. THERE ARE A LOT OF CLINTON VOTERS OUT THERE. THKS FOR THE DIME

steveda - poconos   May 29th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

Hillary i splanning on stealing this nomination. She has no ethics, no party loyalty and especially no loyalty to the "little people". Any multi-millionaire that can take money from a child – who sold his bike and video games to get it – has no scruples whatsoever.

She lied about NAFTA, Bosnia, and Ireland. Sha has proposed an ill-advised gas tax reduction simply to pander to voters. She stole the Ohio primary by putting out vicious lies about Obama and NAFTA just prior to the election. She has mismanaged her campaign and then cried about Obama outspending her – when she has raised nearly as much money as he has.

Her husband sold presidential pardons before he left office – specifically to Marc Rich – and then she had the audacity to talk about Obama's nominal relationship to Ayers.

I am sorry, I detest Hillary and her lying vicious evil ways. And just for the record, I am not being sexist because I feel the exact same way about her husband. the day she gets the nomination is the day I leave the democratic party and vote for McCain. After all, I am already bankrupt, my kids are too old to draft and i have no grandchildren. So waht do i care.

Tony   May 29th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

What's the matter with her?

Redbug-Oh for OBAMA   May 29th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

HILLARY – 08

Democrat   May 29th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

Good. Hillary needs to take this to the Democratic Convention in Denver. Obama will not steal this nomination from the will of the people. Hillary has more votes, and Obama is unelectable. He's done more harm to the democratic party than anyone in recent history. She needs to fight this out and become the democratic nominee.

Hillary will not be bullied by party elitists and special interests (aka, those backing Obama).

Chuck   May 29th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

I'll vote for a Clinton before I'll vote for another Carter.

58 old white ladies for OBAMA   May 29th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

GET READY FOLKS FOR A BUSH MOVE.

SHE IS CONTINUING TO THREATEN EVERYONE

AND THEIR GRANDMOTHER, IF, SHE DOESN'T

BECOME PRESIDENT.

Turnabout is Fair Play   May 29th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

Hopefully the hell back to NY and out of our lives forever. This isn't the '90s anymore and we need someone fresh and new for the 2000s and old style politics ain't it. Get thee behind us Hillary!

Obama/Sebelius '08!

Mary   May 29th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

Why are we at all surprised, not just that she will keep in this thing...but that CNN will keep reporting about it. If the media would stop giving the Clintons air time this thing would have been over a long time ago...but they kept feeding the beast and now the beast is out of control. Congrats Clinton News Network...you should be ashamed of your bias.

Susan   May 29th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

True Democrat   May 29th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Jason   May 29th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

I just wish she would bow out already. Okay, fine stay in till June 3rd but it is obvious to everyone but Hillary that she has lost. You put up a good fight but if we want the White House back in November she needs to go away!!!! Obama has won and won big time and he will be our next President of The United States. GO OBAMA!!!!

Donald   May 29th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Looks like Roland Martin was right.

Hill.Bill.y   May 29th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

As Martin Roland said, Clintonites think they are first, the party second.

They want to do more damage to the party.

Eleanor   May 29th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

someone needs to shake Hillary and Bill back to reality
I mean to think we have to go thru another primary night where we have to listen to media BRAG about her double digit win is getting beyond boring to just plain annoying!!!
Barring some some underhanded or deceitful act which I might add is not beyond those two, this thing is over!!!
They need to get over their great big EGOS and face that fact

RECOVERING CLINTON SUPPORTER   May 29th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

She is gone CRAZY. She need a mental check-up

Sarah   May 29th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Hillary is promised by McSame, to pay all her dept, if she stayed till the convintion.
The only way to end this race is to push Hillary out. Obama will be naiive if he thought otherwise
Pelosi knows better and she will know how to push her out
Then the party will be healthier

Interesting   May 29th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

lots of places to go is quite correct. New York,Arkansas, West Virgina, Hell... as long as it isnt the convention

Gene   May 29th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

I'm really looking forward to seeing Clinton keep campaigning while Obama is giving his victory speech... after the general elections. I'm sure after this is over and done... Hillary's next step is to campaign to be the president of another country. After all.. if she could run as a NY'r for state senate... why not take the next step.. I'm sure Canada's going to be having elections sometime soon :)

Chip in Puerto Rico   May 29th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Observer   May 29th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

It's quite clear that this is a revealing comment that Hillary plans on being in the public eye between now and November, unfortunately for her, campaigning for Barack Obama.

Chris   May 29th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

I know where...Puerto Rico..and stay there until next year. Geesh..does this women when to quit?

Is the rumor correct that Hillary is planning to divorce Bill if she does not win the nomination?

Peter FROM NJ   May 29th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

IT IS NOT A MATTER OF HAVING A NOMINEE; WE SHOULD HAVE THE ONE WHO CAN WIN IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.
IN THE FUTURE PLEASE CHANGE THE RULES WITH PRIMARY AND CANDIDATE WITH MOST VOTES TAKE ALL.
GENERAL ELECTIONS ARE PRIMARY AND NOT CAUCUSES.

THE PURPOSE OF THE SUPER DELEGATES SHOULD BE THE CONSIDERATION OF ALL PRO AND CON. SEE WHO THE MOST QUALIFIED ANF IS PREPARED CANDIDATE THAT CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER.
HILLARY WON THE BIG SWINGS STATES THAT ARE NECESSARY TO WIN IN NOVEMBER.
SHE IS THE MOST ELECTABLE.
DOES NOT TAKE THE BLUE STATES FOR GRANTED, HAVE THE ENTIRE VOTE COUNTED, TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE DISENFRANCHISED.
HILLARY 08

Terry   May 29th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Oh yeah.......................try going to hell because this is what you have been putting the American people through. I don’t mean to be taken as so mean spirited but I am tired of the Clinton’s.

JMB   May 29th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Someone (Pelosi? Ried? Dean? Gore?) needs to put Hillary's campaign out of its misery.

Let's hope the superdelegates are merciful.

Debbie   May 29th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

Regarding the statement from Jay Carson "There are a lot of places for us to go between June 4 and November". Another words, if Hillary and Bill don't get there way, it will only take between June 4 and November to try and destroy the Democratic Party for one's own selfish reasons!

Lisa in GA.   May 29th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

Hillary is trying to mkae sure she ruins Obama's chance in Nov. She is clearly planning the victim role to the fullest... If she destroys the party people will not forget and if she run again... she will not win.. she can't run her campaign let alone a country......

Matt   May 29th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

I just hope she doesn't run as an Independent :(

Vern   May 29th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

Are we surprised absolutely not. It's unfortunate that the Clinton's are willing to destroy the party one for which they worked so hard in the past. However, that does not give them an ENTITLEMENT>

No Hillary   May 29th, 2008 7:13 pm ET

Clinton Plan plans going??????????? I am afraid after Tuesday NO WHERE TO GO!!!

JG from MA-Obamabot and proud of it   May 29th, 2008 7:13 pm ET

there goes the vp spot...

Creative Woody   May 29th, 2008 7:13 pm ET

Keep going, Senator. Keep going while Obama confirms the nomination and wins in November. I'm sure you'll get there someday, where ever that is.

Larry from Georgetown, Tx   May 29th, 2008 7:12 pm ET

I hope she keeps going and going and going, just like the bunny but in her case I hope she goes over the edge Saturday at the DNC meeting and then goes on a bridge to nowhere.

JIM WHITTAKER, Hemet, CA   May 29th, 2008 7:12 pm ET

Of course, she's going to keep going on!

Don't you people understand? That's all The Clintons know how to
do. That's all they've ever done, all their lives, is campaign. Both of
their lives has been nothing but one, long 35-year campaign. From
the time they got out of college, until today, that's all they're qualified
to do.

And, they both realize, that on the very day that the campaigning stops,
that is the day that their lives are effectively over. There's nothing left
after that. No more campaign, no more Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Period.

IntelliGent   May 29th, 2008 7:12 pm ET

In that case the reporters should respectfully decline and go and cover real news like the general election.

Chris - Hemet, Ca.   May 29th, 2008 7:12 pm ET

I have a suggestion as to where the Clintons can go after June 4th.

Ostriches burying our heads in the sand   May 29th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

Fred   May 29th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

Keep Lying Cheating and Stealing Hillary. You will go far

Illinois Boy   May 29th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

Well hopefully HIllary finally steps out of the race and allows the Democrats to get things together. Obama has won FAIR and SQUARE.

If Hillary cannot win the her primary, how can she win the general?

HavingFun   May 29th, 2008 7:09 pm ET

Said Clinton spokesman Jay Carson. "There are a lot of places for us to go between June 4 and November."

THAT'S THE BIGGEST JOKE OF THIS YEAR...

To do WHAT ?????

KK   May 29th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

STUPID STUPID STUPID. There will be NO place for you to go after June 4th, believe that. Have you heard? Pelosi and the crew are "putting it down" and you won't have a legal leg to stand on–you will no longer be relevant come the close of the primaries. Get it? I hope so...there will be NO taking it to the convention. Or, weren't you privy to Pelosi's first post this morning???!!
